Joe Lawrence d36a7343f4 livepatch/klp-build: switch to GNU patch and recountdiff ...

The klp-build script is currently very strict with input patches,
requiring them to apply cleanly via `git apply --recount`.  This
prevents the use of patches with minor contextual fuzz relative to the
target kernel sources.

To allow users to reuse a patch across similar kernel streams, switch to
using GNU patch and patchutils for intermediate patch manipulation.
Update the logic for applying, reverting, and regenerating patches:

- Use 'patch -p1' for better handling of context fuzz.
- Use 'recountdiff' to update line counts after FIX_PATCH_LINES.
- Drop git_refresh() and related git-specific logic.
